Inversions
An inversion is any time your heart is higher than your head.
​
Inversions are not for everyone and can be dangerous for students with certain medical conditions. Please fill out your registration forms carefully and discuss all medical conditions with your instructor.
Inversions should NOT be practiced by anyone suffering from high blood pressure, eye problems (such as glaucoma or a detached retina), neck injuries/problems or heart problems, including a previous stroke, sinus problems, epilepsy, arthritis, bone problems or by women who are pregnant.
​
Participants can still get a wonderful stretch and find new joy in their yoga practice even if they cannot do inversions.

As I've gotten older, so many exercise classes become about what I can't do. This class has been about celebrating what I can do, and it's been a lot of fun!!!
So many exercise classes are "heavy". This class was about the joy of movement, making it fun to work out. We laughed, encouraged each other and had a great time!
